<p>An interface and process for re-ordering data transactions between a master device and a target device. The present invention applies to target devices that interface to master devices such that both masters and slaves are capable of handling the re-ordering of outstanding requests. In such an interface where data transactions can be in any order, certain events may occur that force the reordering to be limited to either before or after the event. These events, also referred to as synchronizing events herein, require that transactions sampled before the event must be completed before transactions sampled after the events are completed. The present invention is capable of handling such synchronizing events while maximizing reordering to gain maximum performance benefits.</p> |
